My Lord, the princess doesn't want you anymore.

Mei Jiayun brought Mei Xueer to the pavilion, "Xueer, how is the prince's injury?"

"Well, I won't die. I reached an agreement with him. I helped him heal his wounds, and he gave me freedom."

"Freedom?" Mei Jiayun's scalp tingled when he heard this. This so-called freedom meant that from now on, Prince Jing's Mansion would pretend that there was no princess!

He could imagine with his toes how miserable Mei Xueer's future life would be.

"Xue'er, you can't do this..."

Mei Xueer stopped him directly, "Brother, let's not talk about this. Even if you think it's not good, there's no turning back. Besides, you know, there are many misunderstandings between Prince Jing and me. The current situation is the best. The main thing is that I like this kind of life and I'm happy."

"Okay, you, just be happy. Let's get down to business." Mei Jiayun cleared his throat, "Tell me, brother, what is the relationship between you and the prince now."

"What relationship do I have with him?" Mei Xue'er felt sick when she thought of the poisonous snake. "I wish he would get out of here right now. I don't want to have anything to do with him, ever! Brother, are you still doubting me? I know I was confused before and did a lot of shameful things, but now I really have thrown him away like garbage."

"Well, that's good!" Mei Jiayun pondered for a moment, "You know, I have been secretly investigating the case these days, and I have actually found some information. Since you are really no longer obsessed with the prince, I am relieved."

It turned out that while investigating the case of a merchant being wiped out, Mei Jiayun discovered that the merchant was secretly doing some shameful things.

He followed the clues and found out that they had been traveling back and forth between Dazhen and Xiling Kingdom for a long time. They not only went there to negotiate some fur and cloth business, but also secretly contacted all kinds of people.

Following those people's investigation, we found that at the border of Xiling and Dazhen, there was actually an army of not too small size, about 100,000 people.

And these private soldiers are all raised by the prince!

Perhaps because he thought that if the prince failed, he would die too, the merchant tried to have it both ways, but was discovered by the prince's uncle, the Minister of Revenue Wei Mengyun.

Wei Mengyun took the initiative and immediately sent assassins to kill the merchant.

As to who this merchant is planning to rely on with such a large amount of money, and whether there is any substantive cooperation between the two parties, it is still unknown.

Mei Jiayun did not want to discuss these court affairs in detail with Mei Xueer, but he was worried that the prince would be forced into a corner and take action against Prince Jing.

After all, Mei Xueer is now estranged from the prince, and as the Princess of Jing, she might become the target of the prince.

So, he told Mei Xueer everything he had found out.

"Prince Jing won't let me go to the palace, so tell him this information when you return. As for what he does, that's not something I can control." Mei Jiayun said, "This matter involves the fight for the throne, so just keep it to yourself, and don't get involved."

Mei Xueer nodded in agreement.

She really felt that she was very lucky to be born into such a family, with parents and an elder brother who truly loved her. She really couldn't understand why the original owner had been committing suicide repeatedly in the past.

"So, are you going to tell Dad about this?" she asked.

Mei Jiayun shook his head. "Let's wait and see. It's best to let Prince Jing handle it. I think Prince Jing has a conscience. Although Dad is in a high position now, he is actually walking on thin ice in the officialdom. The emperor's trust is ultimately limited."

Mei Xueer understood that when it came to the throne, a loyal courtier meant nothing!

Prime Minister Mei was happy that his daughter had returned. During dinner, he specially asked Aunt Li to bring her two daughters to have dinner together.

A family of seven sat together.

Mei Qianyue was as well-behaved as ever, and there was nothing wrong with her. She also did not show that they were particularly close because Mei Xueer treated her illness.

But Mei Xueer always felt that Aunt Li and Mei Zhihua today seemed different from usual.

Aunt Li was very calm and quiet, like a different person, without any of her usual sharp and sarcastic tone.

Mei Zhihua no longer came up to provoke her like she did in the past, but just focused on eating.

But Mei Xueer clearly saw a smug smile in her eyes.

She thought of what Mei Qianyue had found an opportunity to tell her quietly before dinner: Mei Zhihua was sure that she would be in trouble soon.

No wonder she is so happy just having a meal.

This mother and daughter are both abnormal!

Mei Xueer rolled her eyes, put down her chopsticks, and looked at Mei Zhihua, "Second sister, I remember that you also had your eyes on Prince Jing before."

When these words came out, everyone at the table was stunned.

Mei Zhihua blushed at first, but was a little at a loss.

Yes, she had feelings for Cui Hongjingjing before, but more importantly, she was attracted by the status and position of this prince.

None of the other princes were as neglected by the emperor as Cui Hongjing was. She knew that she, a concubine's daughter, could not marry him. She could give the unfavored Prince Jing a try. After all, even if he was unfavored, his status as a prince was still there.

But the emperor granted the marriage, and Mei Xueer became Prince Jing's principal wife.

Mei Zhihua was indignant, but she gave up the idea of ​​marrying into Prince Jing's mansion.

Prince Jing was not favored, so she could reluctantly be his principal wife. But if she was to be a concubine, she would definitely not be willing!

Hearing Mei Xueer bringing up the old matter again, she wasn't sure what she was trying to say.

She calmed down a little and said, "Big sister, what you said is true. Prince Jing is my brother-in-law. How could I have such thoughts?"

"Then you don't have to worry, sister. If you really want to, what does your brother-in-law have to do with you? We two sisters can share a husband." Mei Xueer said with a smile, "Mother told me today that she would try her best to expand the Jingwang Mansion. If you are willing to marry into the Jingwang Mansion, that would be the best. It would save the prince from taking other concubines. I don't know if we can get along well!"

These words made everyone at the table feel very embarrassed.

"Miss, please don't mention this again." Aunt Li was the first to lose her composure and said angrily, "If you sisters serve Prince Jing together, it will be a disgrace to the master!"

"Yes, Xue'er, if this is the case, how will your father be able to gain a foothold in the court in the future?" On this matter, Shen and Li stood on the same side, which was rare.

"Why are you saying all this?" Prime Minister Mei also frowned.

Could it be that my daughter is having an attack again?

Mei Xueer smiled, "Everyone knows that Prince Jing doesn't like me. I originally thought that if my second sister entered Prince Jing's mansion, I would ask the prince to make her his second wife. If my second sister doesn't want to, just pretend I never said anything."

"Of course I don't want to! Even if I become the principal wife, even if I am the only woman in the whole palace, I still don't want to do it!" Mei Zhihua was so anxious that her face turned red and her neck became thick.

Mei Xueer smiled but said nothing.

"Okay, let's end this matter here. Don't let it get out and make people laugh at you!" As the only son of Prime Minister Mei, and a legitimate son at that, Mei Jiayun's words still carry a lot of weight in the mansion.

Aunt Li, who was about to say a few more harsh words, quickly shut up.

A good dinner was ruined like this, and Prime Minister Mei looked unhappy until the end.

Mei Xueer felt a little guilty, so she secretly gave Mei Jiayun a look.

Mei Jiayun understood immediately that this was asking him to help calm his father down.

During the entire process, only Mei Qianyue was well-behaved, with no expression on her face, and only focused on eating her meal.

It was not until everyone had finished their meal and left that Mei Qianyue smiled meaningfully at Mei Xueer, as if to say, "I know why you said those things during the meal."

Mei Xueer never expected that when she returned to her parents' home this time, she would have such an interaction with her third sister whom she had only met a few times.

Yes, normally, Mei Zhihua would be willing to become Prince Jing's principal wife.

But judging from her reactions during dinner with Aunt Li, she was obviously very resistant and would rather die than enter Prince Jing's Mansion.

There is only one reason, the mother and daughter really believe that Prince Jing is going to be in trouble, and she will be in trouble too.

Why do they think so?

When we left the Prime Minister's Mansion, it was already dark.

Prime Minister Mei originally wanted to send someone to escort his daughter back to the palace, but he saw that the coachman had been following his daughter with a righteous look on his face, never leaving her side. Even when his daughter was having a meal with her family, he had to stand behind her, and stood straight with his hands behind his back!

seems very amazing.

Alas, forget it. The Prime Minister’s Residence is not too far from the Prince’s Palace.
